The Degrees of Choice






"Some people say that what makes a person a victim is they have limited or no options about how to act. " This is not always the truth. The possibility of actions are unlimited. The situation one is in supervises and limits the actions to be taken. For example, the Jews who was targeted during the reign of the Nazi government, they had no choice but to sit or to risk their lives to stand against them. For them, leaving was out of the question. All the nations except for one nation closed their gates to enter, which resulted Jews to stay in the Germany and be slaughtered in execution camps. There is another example for the support which happens frequently nowadays: bullying. If often takes place in schools, by a group of students turning back on one. There are variety of attainable actions that can be taken by the victims of the bullying. He or she might tell an adult about it and receive advice to overcome. He or she would still count as victims of bullying, whatever he or she takes action or not, they are still victims. It was unfortunate for the Jews, however, if they were allowed to the other countries and they were albe to escape, it won't still change the fact that they were the victims. Therefore, the limits of ways to act would not make a victim by itself.
